"Nightmares" (Allen Cox)

Scared to death to go to sleep
My eyes are bright as balls of sleet
Storm raging in my head
A nightmare, welcome my friend


I thought I was awake
I must have fell asleep
That was my mistake
I wish that I could dream
Like a normal dream
Like a paradise

I feel the cold steel
I sense the death
I hear a trigger click
Wide awake at the blast

I thought that I was gone
In death I must belong
And now I don't know how to feel
I can remember them
Like a horror show
One after one they come and go
My dreams are scaring me
I think I'm going mad
Like these characters in my head

It's a hell that I have to live
And it's all to real
These dreams I can feel
Yeah it's all too real
I want a normal life
It seems so unfair
Welcome to....my nightmare

I lay on the table
The scalpel in his hand
He moves toward me
Then I'm wide awake again

Now fast asleep
I began to dream
But it's never what I want
Another restless night
Awaken in a scream
It's always death that taunts me

No reason for this torture
These stories I nust live
Such tales of horror
I've seen my friends killed
I look to the left
I look to the right
I step off the corner
A bus my last sight
Wake up in a cold sweat
It was so real
My heart pounding fast
No one to calm my fears
Afraid to close my eyes
All these horrid scenes
Afraid to go to sleep
Afraid of my dreams

Now I lay me down
My journey's terror bound
Where will I be tonight?
What friend betrays?
What big mistake?
What will be the big fright?

Welcome to my nightmare

She told me she loved me
I was her man
I see her kiss another
Now I understand

Welcome to my nightmare

Now she has a knife
She's after me
Running down the hall
I can hear her insane screams...

Welcome to my nightmare

A bug is crawling on me
With it's lethal bite
I'm in sheer terror
My nerves in a bind

Now I'm fast asleep
I begin to dream
But it's never what I want
Another restless night
Awaken in a scream
It's always death that taunts me
It's a hell I live
And it's all to real
The dreams that I can feel
I want a normal life
No, it's just not fair
Welcome to my nightmare...

It's a hell I live
Yeah it's all too real
These dreams that I can feel
I want a normal life
No, it's just not fair
Welcome to my nightmare
My nightmare...
